well now, where do I start...
I feel really bad about dropping off the face of the earth. I really do. I feel like I have no excuse, because I feel like people don't really accept depression as an excuse for screwing up. But there you go. I have depression, and it's to blame for most of my screwups I think...
It's just one of those things, you know?

SO today has been a fun day for me. I probably have never mentioned this before, but I can't drive. HAH
I know right it's pretty sad. The story is I went to driving school when I was 17, and I hated it, and driving in a car with a bunch of younger teens who I didn't know and a driving instructor who was mildly insensitive and pretty sexist was really Fitzy S.https://plus.google.com/117911910634625898525noreply@blogger.com14tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2209079466959138185.post-25063660350760614162013-01-31T16:31:00.000-06:002013-01-31T16:31:35.313-06:00more Pleiades for your faces: Orion, Electra, Alcyone

Hey so has anyone else seen all the new CoverGirl Outlast shades in Walgreens yet? Those small displays started popping up everywhere that have a limited collection of colors, but recently a whole shelf full of CG nail polish popped up at my Walgreens, with what I think is every shade from the core line.
A few caught my eye right away, so I took 'em home and swatched both of them.

Regarding the title; I don't mean "girly" as in my layering today is girly. I mean "Girly." As in, this is some layering that I did using Revlon Girly.
This mani is a little ridiculous, as I was wearing a jelly sandwich to begin with, and then layered a coat of Girly on top.

So check it out, this is the Pleiades collection from CrowsToes. Don't worry, I had to google it too (and my partner had to correct my pronunciation), and it's taken me until now to memorize how to spell "Pleiades."

Midtown Mimosa is described as a "yellow creme" on Nouveau Cheap, but it's actually a perfect yellow jelly.

Today I have one of those wordy posts that I do so well. You know, the ones with the rambling and whatnot.
Blogging has been kind of stressful for me lately, which is part of the reason I decided to take a short holiday break.

It appears I've kind of accidentally been on hiatus since christmas. It doesn't help that I've been away from home, which means I've been away from most of my polish and my light box. On top of that, I broke another nail and filed my nails down to round little shorties! So due to unforeseen circumstances, Lacquer Lad will return after the new year!

Orly Torrid is from the 2012 Naughty or Nice holiday collection. It's a very pretty but basic red shimmer with an excellent two-coat formula. Torrid is nice and velvety with a very fine shimmer; I didn't have anything else like it so I figured it would be good to have in my collection!
